Meet Some of Our CPES Graduates
Certified Professional Experiential Strategists changing the industry one experience at a time.
These are the experiential professionals who decided that executing beautiful events was no longer enough. They wanted the framework, the language, and the credential to prove their work at the highest level.
Here is what some of them are saying.
Emily Bennett, CPES
Colorado
"The CPES certification fundamentally changed the way I think about experiences and their role in achieving business outcomes. The frameworks apply far beyond event planning to membership development, partner engagement, and business strategy. It's a practical roadmap for designing experiences that create measurable impact rather than simply delivering a moment in time."
Joshua Pennebaker, CPES
Colorado
"This was actually not easy. But 1000% worth every penny. I got more information out of this training program than I did at the Las Vegas MBA. Watch out event world I am coming for you."
Glenda Ann Robertson, CPES
St John's, Canada
"The CPES certification gave me the structure and vocabulary to articulate what has always guided my approach to experiential strategy. I'm proud to now hold the CPES designation and grateful for the recognition of the work that brought me here."
Aurora Maier, CPES
California
"The Edgucation Institute's framework did more than confirm what I was already practicing. It elevated it. I have been seeking an authority reference, and Edgucation Institute delivered it."
The events industry is changing. Be one of the ones leading it.
